Red Arrow International distributes new German dramas
Munich, 27 July 2015. Red Arrow International
is to distribute a slate of major new German dramas, to launch at
this year's MIPCOM. The lineup includes primetime SAT.1 crime
series EINSTEIN starring Tom Beck and TV movie BERLIN ONE from the
producers of "The Lives of Others".
Following a high-rating pilot episode earlier this year, SAT.1
has commissioned a full season of crime series EINSTEIN (6 x 1
hour). Produced by Zeitsprung Pictures, the show stars Tom Beck
("Alarm for Cobra 11") as Albert Einstein's great grandson, a
physicist with hereditary Huntington's disease who is forced to
help the police solve a series of challenging crimes.
BERLIN ONE (Berlin Eins, 1 x 2 hours) is a new event movie from
Wiedemann & Berg - the award-winning producers of "The Lives of
Others". Starring multi-award winner Tobias Moretti ("Inspector
Rex"), Friedrich Mücke ("Friendship!") and Emilia Schüle
("Tatort"), "Berlin One" is directed by up-and-coming director
Marvin Kren ("The Station", "Rammbock"), and is set during Berlin's
Golden Age in the roaring 20's. Whilst high society revels in their
luxurious lives, groups of gangsters are spreading prostitution,
drug smuggling, blackmail and robbery across the city; Chief
Inspector Lang and the cops of the Berlin One precinct are tasked
with tracking them down.
Also from Wiedemann & Berg comes new comedy series HEART
& SOUL (Frauenherzen, 6 x 1 hour). Commissioned following a
successful movie pilot on SAT.1, this strong female ensemble sees
four different women, with four different lives and stories, all
set in contemporary Berlin. "Heart & Soul" stars Nadeshda
Brennicke, Julia Hartmann, Muriel Baumeister and Christina
Petersen.
A second season of successful crime series JOSY KLICK, HOMICIDE
(Josephine Klick - Allein unter Cops, Season Two: 6 x 1 hour; total
12 x 1 hour) is also launching at MIPCOM. Produced by UFA Fiction
("Deutschland 83"), award-winning comedy actress Diana Amft
("Doctor's Diary") returns to the role of an exceptional cop who
uses her female intuition, tenacity and country ways to solve
unusual crimes in the big city.
Red Arrow International's German scripted dramas will launch at
MIPCOM alongside a strong line-up of English language fiction
including previously announced titles: CLEVERMAN (6 x 1 hour)
starring Iain Glen ("Game of Thrones"); PETER & WENDY (1 x 2
hours) starring Stanley Tucci ("The Hunger Games"); and season two
of crime drama BOSCH (10 x 1 hour, total: 20 x 1 hour) starring
Titus Welliver ("Argo"). The full MIPCOM fiction line-up will be
announced shortly.
Henrik Pabst, Managing Director of Red Arrow International,
said: "Alongside our English-language lineup, we are delighted to
be launching this strong slate of internationally appealing German
dramas. The quality of fiction coming out of SAT.1 is impressive;
and shows such as "Einstein" fit the ever-growing international
demand for procedural crime drama. The interest that the "Einstein"
pilot has already generated is exciting".
